Memphis DA: No charges for officers in fatal shooting

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The top prosecutor in Memphis says no charges will be filed against two police officers involved in the fatal shooting of a man in January.

In a statement released Wednesday, Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said she believes a jury would find that the officers had "lawful justification" to shoot at 32-year-old Jonathon Bratcher in self-defense.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says Bratcher was killed as he and another man were being pursued on foot after Bratcher drove away from a traffic stop and crashed his car while driving recklessly through a neighborhood on Jan. 27.
